Cigarettes bought in the European Union that you can bring back to France

ElviajeroPar · 2026-07-22

Hi there,

Regarding the amount of tobacco you can buy during a trip in the European Union and bring back to France, we can't really talk about a "duty-free allowance," because the rules around how much tobacco you can bring back to France aren't straightforward at all under French law.

But it's very well explained and legally detailed here: https://douanestabacfranchise.wordpress.com/
